Warne is better but Kumble is very good. They showed a table yesterday of the top wicket takers and Kumble has overtaken both Ambrose and Akram in 10 or more less tests.

Warne for succeeding in more varied surfaces and conditions than Kumble whose record (inspite of the last Aussie tour) is still heavily influenced by his deeds at home.

I know people will reply by quoting Warne's record in India but the arguments against that are
1. He has still succeeded on more surfaces.
2. In India it is not the surface but the ability of Indian batsmen against spin that has ruined his record. I think the Indian line up will play Kumble equally comfortably at home.

But the same arguement can be held against Warne too that he doesn't get to bowl to the best batting lineup in the world . Though there is no doubt that Warne is the better one

Firstly it is debatable that Aussies are the best players of spin. Even so, for a fair comparison just comapare their figures against the same opposition under the same conditions and you will see how they match up !

In other words, Their figures oin all tests except those played in India and Australia

thats what i have problem with.even though he is a very good bowler he has have some problems that indians have shown.look at the current series in which most of the india batsmen are out of form and Tendulkar is not in the team and he is still strugging to get them out

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.RIP Craigos
